"When things are going well, everyone is fantastic. When life turns against you, still, are you fantastic? That's the question."
Mike Tyson recently sat down with Sadhguru and asked him some "hard hitting" questions about life. On the subject of self improvement, Tyson, who grew up on the streets in a rough and "filthy" part of town, asks the yogi why one should not focus on "improving" one's self.
Sadghuru continues: "We always use lotus flower as symbolism for human growth and development. Lotus flower grows best wherever filth is really thick... grows well because there is filth. It stays in the filth but untouched and fragrant.
So this is a choice that all of us have: either we can develop allergy to filth and run away and live in a mountain cave, - there also filth will follow you in your head, it won't leave you - or we can become part of the filth, or we can blossom in to a fragrant flower. This is a choice every human being has every moment of their life. Will they exercise this choice? That is a question mark."
Mike Tyson: "Yeah, I'm very flowerful." 🤣
In all seriousness, this is a great video that may help to ease or re-focus the minds of those who may or may not be going through a hard time. Just wanted to share. Cheers. 🤘
